Toni had a dream; It's up to us Now.


Antonia "Toni" Cornell-Banke

Unfortunately, on June 9th, 2006 Toni's short life came to a sudden end in a tragic auto accident on her way to the last day of school. She did everything right according to CHP Officer Sean; but, apparently distracted, she over corrected and met an untimely death as her car struck a telephone pole.

Toni's main goal in life (according to her application for RYLA) was to be a Rotarian and help people; to make a difference. She had plans to reach that goal and there is no doubt she would have met and exceeded them.

She was President Elect of the Etna High School Interact Club: One Incredible Person. Everyone loved Toni. Only we that remain can help achieve her dream.

Her dream project for her Interact Club was to provide school supplies for Mexican children to help them achieve their goals.

Through our efforts, her legacy will endure.
